This was my face when I saw Kristen’s Me Myself & I post. Has it really been a month already? Is Christmas really NEXT week? Is this YEAR seriously almost over already??? Where does the time go?
1. What was your favorite gift given to you as a child?
My favorite gift as a child was actually a birthday present, but my birthday is early January so I often think about it this time of year. There was a man at church named Kevin. One summer when I was a teenager, he promised to buy me some cantaloupe from the farmer’s market but he forgot. Then he said he would get me some peaches and he forgot, and then some apples but forgot. He eventually said that he would get me some fruit for my birthday and I was all “suuuuuure you will hahaha”. Well, sure enough, Kevin showed up at our door on my 17th birthday with 3 grocery bags FULL of every single type of fruit he could find!! It was amazing! It’s one of the sweetest things I’ve ever received.
2. Christmas is almost here, what is that one Christmas song you could listen to on repeat?
I love the song Sleigh Ride, but it has to be a super fast jazzy version of it. People who sing that song slow should be slapped.
3. What are a few of the items on your Christmas list this year?
I haven’t really been wanting anything this year. I’m more feeling like I have too much and I need to seriously declutter my house. BUT my husband got me something that I’ve wanted my whole life! A bow! With arrows! Three of them. (But Shaun lost one in the back yard haha) It came last night and I grabbed it before he had time to hide it. It’s awesome!!
4. Do you and your family have any special holiday traditions? Explain.
Since we’ve been married, every year we get new photo ornaments, one for us and one for each of the kids. In 20 years our tree is going to be COVERED in pictures of our family. I haven’t gotten them for this year yet, and I actually just put the pictures in the ones from last year like a week ago..
5. Which do you prefer: wrapping paper or gift bags? Why?
I definitely love wrapping paper. Gift bags are nice too, and you can reuse them which is a bonus. But I love wrapping gifts and seeing them all piled up under the tree.
Stopping by for the link up (www.myjourneyforhim.blogspot.com)….Loved your post! What a sweet guy that Kevin was. I guess he made up for broken promises!!!
Have fun with your new bow! I’ve wanted to try to learn to use one…Haven’t done it yet, but someday I will.
Thank you! Kevin was a sweet man.
I just want to go home and shoot! I’m no good at it YET but I will be someday! haha
Nice to meet you from the link up! I love the top picture, it made me laugh. And a bow and arrow sounds cool!

Aww did I know this Kevin? That is so sweet! And I love your gingerbread man face – hahahaha! I also love the idea of a Christmas tree covered in photos over the years – sounds amazing! P.S. I voted for your Christmas card – YOU MUST WIN!!
Of course you did! It was Kevin Artiboni. Aren’t those gingerbread men awesome? Our friends brought them to us the other night. And thanks for voting for me! The suspense is going to kill me before they announce the winners.
I’m so jealous of your bow!!! I got a little toy one from Walmart for my birthday and even that was amazing! Haha.
Gotta love Sleigh Ride! The percussion in there is AWESOME!
The horse shoe sound and the whip cracking? GENIUS!
You’re going to post your photos once they’re taken, right?
How about a blog about the lot of them year to year?
*hugs*
